Thyroidectomy
A thyroidectomy is an operation that involves the surgical removal of all or part of the thyroid gland. Surgeons often perform a thyroidectomy when a patient has thyroid cancer or some other condition of the thyroid gland or goiter. Other indications for surgery include cosmetic, or symptomatic obstruction. Thyroidectomy is a common surgical procedure that has several potential complications or sequela including: temporary or permanent change in voice, temporary or permanently low calcium, need for lifelong thyroid hormone replacement, bleeding, infection, and the remote possibility of airway obstruction due to bilateral vocal cord paralysis. Complications are uncommon when the procedure is performed by an experienced surgeon. The thyroid produces several hormones, such as thyroxine, triiodothyronine, and calcitonin. After the removal of a thyroid, patients usually take a prescribed oral synthetic thyroid hormone - levothyroxine - to prevent hypothyroidism. Less extreme variants of thyroidectomy include: ⁕"hemithyroidectomy" -- removing only half of the thyroid
